💬 What’s a trope everyone hates that you secretly love? 👀

I adore love triangles - I’ll eat them up every time!

I binged Lore of the Wilds and Lore of the Tides during a reading slump, and this duology ended up being such a fun surprise! It’s fast-paced yet cozy, and the romance had me giggling and kicking my feet. I initially put it off because of the mixed reviews, but I honestly had a blast! It does read very YA, but I didn’t mind.

I also really appreciated the genuine slow burn. Like… actual slow burn! In this economy?! 🤩🤌

Thematically, I loved the emphasis on liberation, resistance, and found family. There were several moments that genuinely made me tear up 🥹 I’m pretty satisfied with the ending, though there are still some unresolved questions/loose ends.

If you’re after an easy-to-read duology with fun tropes, this is a great pick! Think green academia romantasy with a cozy, cottagecore vibe. It was the ideal summer binge, and I’m so excited to see what Analeigh Sbrana writes next!

I’d say friends to lovers for me. Some don’t like it but I like the slow burn of it

I am not sure, maybe slow burn? Not everyone likes them but I think they are great.

I do like love triangles, I just wish there was a better description for it 😂 it's usually more like two love interests and not a full triangle where everyone is interested in each other

Yearning/ "slow burn" to the point where they never even get together and it's actually painful to read 😂 and I eat it up
